Should Native Equity Matter in the Revitalization of Major Cities?
Unlike social and economic equity, native equity is not considered in community development projects. Native equity is when the professional team that is designing or planning the development is inclusive of native residents from the targeted area. The question for community development practitioners is does native equity matter in redevelopment.

Overcoming hurdles to promote digital inclusion for all
Digital inclusion is vital to promoting community growth. Often, though, the information needed to identify gaps is lacking at a local level, and the benefits of improving digital literacy are difficult to define, let alone measure. We will discuss how to make digital inclusion part of your successful planning efforts.

The Arts as a Gateway to the Future: New Techniques for Arts-Based Development
Come share the latest ideas, practices, and techniques for arts-based community development.
